Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Chance Encounter on the Street Liu Shi Tianding
Three days later, Chen Guang came to fetch the gun, and the master Xiang took out two spears and asked them to be carried to the accompanying carriage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info handed a tightly wrapped bag to Chen Guangdao: "Alas! I don't know if it's good or bad to do this, you said that this family marksmanship is now going to be passed on to Liu Bang, do you think this is a trick of fate? Will our ancestors blame us for being useless? ā
Chen Guang persuaded: "The grievances between the Xiang and Liu families have been hundreds of years, and they should have disappeared long ago, if you can pass on this marksmanship to Liu Shi, my stone can really occupy a place in this battle, and it will not be spread into a good story!" ā
Both guns were handed over to Liu Shi.
Liu Shi was shocked! Ask about the origin of this gun.
Chen Guangdao: "It was passed down by a craftsman, and it is said that the guest thought that this gun was too heavy and had been useless, and put it there in the hope that it would be dissolved into fine iron, which could be sold for some money, or changed into a lighter weapon." When the craftsman saw this, he felt that it was a pity that he was dissolved, so he bought another weapon for him, and kept the gun, but he never found a suitable person. Today, I was very surprised to see that you have such strength at such a young age! If you take out this gun, I also like it when I see it, so I negotiated with him to buy it, and I will use it when you grow up, and I don't know if I like it or not.
In addition, I saw a book of marksmanship in the school house in the county earlier, and I took it back, and I wanted to pass it on to my nephew, and I gave it to you if I didn't want you to like marksmanship. It's also related to you. As he spoke, he took out a brocade cloth wrapped object from his bosom.
Liu Shi opened it layer by layer and took a look, 'Xiang's marksmanship'.
Qi Dao: "How did my uncle find this gun technique, and who is this clan?" ā
Chen Guangdao: "Maybe something happened to the family and was raided by the court, these books were confiscated into the county government, and no one sorted them out, so they were left there. I don't want to be destined for you. ā
Liu Shi was overjoyed, didn't ask much, thanked his uncle again, and then happily returned to the room where he lived.
The walls of Fan County are high and thick, coupled with sufficient preparations, the Taiping thieves are called the Yellow Turban Army or Yellow Turban Thieves because all their heads are wrapped in yellow scarves. The Yellow Turban Army stormed the county seat of Fanxian for several days, but instead of taking it, many people died, and then turned to other places.
Chen Guang was also relieved when he saw the Yellow Turban Army retreating.
As soon as the Yellow Turban Army retreated, Hua Tuo came to him.
Only then did Chen Guang know everything that happened to Liu Shi on the road, and he was also grateful to Hua Tuo, and brought out a plate of gold and silver to thank Hua Tuo, but Hua Tuo refused.
Only then did Hua Tuo know that Liu Shi had not yet told his uncle about the apprenticeship, so he said, "You nephews and nephews will discuss it, and I will come back in a few days." ā
Although Chen Guang was a scholar, he did not underestimate the doctor, so he enthusiastically retained him and sent someone to find Liu Shi.
Hua Tuo said: "Now that the Yellow Turban Army has retreated, outside Fanxian County, after Yan and Xu pass through the Yellow Turban Thieves, I am afraid that there will be more sick people, and there is a possibility of plague, so we need to go to treat and protect in time." ā
Chen Guang was worried that the Yellow Turban Thieves would be unfavorable to Hua Tuo and the others.
Hua Tuo smiled and said: "Yuanhua has been self-medicating for decades, and Xu, Yan, Qing, and Yu are still a bit well-known here. Thinking that these thieves will not harm Yuanhua's master and apprentices, Yuanhua is still confident in this. However, Shuzuo is still worried about his nephew, Shuzuo can negotiate with Shi'er again, and I will ask Xun in two days. ā
At this time, Liu Shi was looking for his uncle, and when he saw his uncle coming to look for him, he hurried over.
Chen Guangdao: "Just now, Dr. Hua came to look for him, saying that you had worshipped him as a teacher, and two days after he came to inform you, he came to ask Xun if you went to the countryside with him to treat the villagers' illness." I'm worried that the Yellow Turban thieves are raging now, and it's better to stay in the county, I don't know what you think. Also, you didn't say a word to me if something so big happened on the way to Qingzhou. ā
Liu Shidao: "Although I am sick, isn't it that I have been treated by my master, and my condition is already better?" The others just need to be slowly recuperated, and it's not a big deal, so that my uncle can worry about it. As for traveling to the countryside with Master Hua, I have made up my mind, and I ask my uncle for permission and understanding, so that I can be a believer. And I'm trying to ask my uncle for help. ā
Seeing Liu Shi like this, Chen Guang knew that he was determined, and it was difficult to change it, so he didn't say much about this matter, but asked, "I don't know what Shi'er needs to do from my uncle?" ā
Liu Shidao: "I have decided to follow Master Hua to visit the countryside to see a doctor for the villagers, but my true brother needs to be properly settled." I wanted to ask him to go back to Youzhou first, but he refused, and I was also worried that the Han Dynasty would not be quiet now, and I was worried about the safety of my true brother, so I planned to leave him here and go with me when I returned to Luoyang. A few days ago, I consulted with him, and he said that he could rent a shop here for him to do business, so that he could earn some living expenses and not have nothing to do! I don't know if my uncle has any good advice. ā
Chen Guangdao: "This business needs some capital, I can help with this, but does Liu Zhen have the quality of doing business?" ā
Liu Shi said: "Please rest assured about this!" Since my brother came to my house at the age of nine, he often went with me to work and play in a shop opened by my eldest brother's house in the county seat, and ran the shop very neatly. Speaking of capital, my father gave me a lot of entanglement when I came out, and we killed a robber on the way to Dong County, and the robber also left some property, thinking that it was enough to run a shop. If you lose money due to poor management, you will borrow the travel expenses to Luoyang from your uncle. ā
"Oh! That's fine! It just so happened that I had a friend who avoided Luoyang, and it was difficult to return in a short period of time, and there was a grocery store in the city that was handed over to him to operate, and it happened that it could be used for both business and people, and the courtyard behind it was not small, and seven or eight people were not a problem. ā
Liu Shi was very happy, and urged his uncle to find someone to take them to have a look, and by the way, they could settle down, and they would leave in two days, so that they could let go of a worry.
Chen Guang laughed when he saw Liu Shi like this, and the white beard on his face curled up one after another. "Good! Chamberlain! Bring me the key to the shop, and I'll go with Shi'er to the 'I have' shop. ā
A group of several people came to a closed shop not far from the intersection of Fan County, the housekeeper stepped forward to open the door of the store, Liu Shi raised his eyes and saw that this shop was open for three times, and the word "I have" was written on it. When you enter the store, you will find a row of counters.
Chen Guang took Liu Shi to the backyard, it turned out that behind the store was a courtyard with three openings and two entrances, and it was not a problem to live in more than a dozen people, not to mention that now there was only Liu Zhen alone.
Chen Guang asked, "Is Shi'er satisfied?" ā
Liu Shi smiled: "It's enough for the real brother to live here!" Thank you, uncle! ā
Chen Guangdao: "No need to thank you, I'm worried about who will help me take care of the chaos now?" I heard that Zhen'er is also a martial artist, and I am relieved to have him here. If you need to find a few helpers, just ask the housekeeper, and tomorrow the housekeeper will help Zhen'er send a set of bedding. Take a look here, and I'll go back first. ā
"Congratulations to my uncle! Shi'er has to stay here a little longer. Liu Shi bowed and replied.
"True brother! How is this store? Satisfied? Liu Shi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Childe! Very satisfied. I will not let my son do a loss-making business, and I must do it with my heart. Liu Zhen said
Liu Shi smiled: "Then all the money brought will be handed over to you!" You don't have to make money, you just have to be happy. ā
Then his face changed, and he said solemnly: "Business should be in good conscience, buy and sell publicly, and you must not do that short catty and less than two, bullying and dominating the market, if I know, I will not spare you!" ā
Liu Zhen said: "Don't worry, childe! I would never be like that. ā
And he said, "Let's go out into the streets!" I'm staying here tonight, and by the way, I'm going to buy some daily necessities, and it's not good to ask my uncle for them again. ā
Liu Shi said: "Look at your anxiety." All right! I'll accompany you today and see you as the shopkeeper. ā
As soon as I walked out of the street, I saw a little girl running over and shouting with tears on her face, "Childe! You're good to go! Save my brother! My brother is dying of hunger! Son! Save him! We can do whatever you tell us to do, as long as you save him. ā
Liu Shi stopped and looked at the little girl, who was thin and dressed in tatters, and her face was red from the cold of early spring.
Then he saw two little boys on the corner of the street, one of whom was lying there, and the other was sitting beside him. It was from the two little boys that the little girl came running. Seeing Liu Shi looking at the little boy sitting there, he ignored it, as if he didn't see it.
Liu Shi withdrew his gaze and looked at the little girl again.
Liu Zhen asked and answered: "Little girl! You're from there, why are there only three of you? Who are those two? What happened to them? ā
"Two sons! One of them is my brother and the other is from our village, there was a war, the family ran out, and then they ran away, we were hungry, and we ran into the city the day before yesterday, and in the morning my brother fought with other children in order to grab something for me to eat, and he was injured, and there was nothing to eat, and he couldn't see it. Please, do well! Save him! The one from the same village also hasn't eaten for a few days. As she spoke, the little girl was about to fall.
Liu Zhen grabbed him quickly, turned to Liu Shi and said, "Childe! You see! Liu Shi sighed and said, "Give them some money!" ā
Liu Zhen thought for a while and said, "Childe! Isn't that why our store is about to open? It's better to take them in, I don't think they're too young, they're all teenagers! It can also help with something. If they were given some money, they might starve to death that day. ā
Liu Shi thought for a while and said, "We took in these children, once the government investigates them, it will be difficult to say." ā
Liu Zhen said: "It's better for you to go and find your uncle, maybe he has a way." Otherwise, you can only give some money. ā
"Good! First of all. You go buy some food for these kids, I don't see anything in the store, it looks like it's all gone. Liu Shidao.
